Dear PLC,
the developer team requests to repeat the sucessful 2023 Bugfix accelerator program in 2024 with a few upgrades as discussed in last week's developer meeting.
Background: see attached document, but to give you a summary of the changes:
*
No fixed list of contractors at the time of the vote; instead Call for applications like with the GTK4 internal contractor + hiring team.
*
Scenario of a contractor dropping out is explicitly covered; extension for the 1.4.x release series contained in the proposal.
*
Clarification that the selection of issues to work on is done primarily by the project.
*
Simplification of contract section.
As for other major expenses from contracting in 2024, my grants proposal is still awaiting SFC review.
Ballot:
a) Repeat the bugfix accelerator program under the conditions outlined in the proposal; allocate USD 20'000 to it.
b) No bugfix accelerator program in 2024.
c) Other: ______
Best regards, Jonathan ___________________
